Rhet is 38 years old and has a gorgeous family including 2 young kids and a wife. Team culture, success and service gets Rhet out of bed in the mornings. If you have been ‘pestered’ recently by a Plumb Bro trying to win all your plumbing work, this was most likely Rhet. But if it was Rhet, you are also more than likely now utilising our 5-star service, because that’s what he does! Rhet continuously loses a footy tip each week as he unsuccessfully backs in his beloved Blues. Rhet is particularly excited by Plumbing Bros national expansion as he has been identified to advance into the role of National Sales Manager.

MITCH – SCHEDULING TEAM

Mitch is THE PB Journeyman! After being apart of PB’s inaugural season, he went on to finish his 4 year apprenticeship with the team, before completing a further 6 months as a contractor.

Outside of work, Frank enjoys 4-wheel-driving, camping, free diving, go-karting and relaxing with his family which includes his beautiful new daughter.

As you can probably tell by the sexy Mediterranean name, Frank can speak fluent Portuguese, which doesn’t really come in handy whilst plumbing, unfortunately.

BEN – ONSITE TEAM MEMBER

Ben is a fun-loving Welsh man that started his plumbing journey in the UK where he ran his own operation for 5 years. He then ventured to ‘the big pond’ to carry on his career here in Oz.

Ben was able to obtain sponsorship from a local plumbing maintenance company which allowed him to remain in Australia.

Ben loves the challenging aspects to plumbing and one day hopes to again have his own business in his adopted home.

In the meantime, Ben is following his passion and slowly moving up the MMA ranks. Therefore if you see him walk into your house with a black eye, this does not mean he is a thug.

Could PB be the birthplace of the next Conor McGregor?
